Lyrics - Because I Am A Queen

(oh yeah)

sometimes i shave my legs and sometimes i don't
sometimes i comb my hair and sometimes i won't
depend on how the wind blows i might even paint my toes
it really just depends on whatever feels good in my soul

i'm not the average from your video
and i ain't built like a supermodel
but i learned to love myself unconditionally
because i am a queen
i'm not the average from your video
my worth is not determined by the price of my clothes
no matter what i'm wearing i will always be
india arie

when i look in the mirror and the only one there is me
every freckle on my face is where it's supposed to be
and i know my creator didn't make no mistakes on me
my feet my thighs my lips my eyes i'm loving what i see

i'm not the average from your video
and i ain't built like a supermodel
but i learned to love myself unconditionally
because i am a queen (yeah)
i'm not the average from your video (woo)
my worth is not determined by the price of my clothes (whoa)
no matter what i'm wearing i will always be
india arie

am i less of a lady if i don't wear hose
my mama said a lady ain't what she wears but what she knows
but i've drawn the conclusion
it's all an illusion
confusion's the name of the game
a misconception a vast deception,
something's got to change

don't be offended this is all my opinion
ain't nothing that i'm saying law
this is a true confession
of a life-learned lesson
i was sent here to share with y'all
so get in when you fit in
go on and shine
clear your mind
now's the time
put your salt on the shelf
go on and love yourself (love yourself)
'cause everything's gonna be alright (love yourself)

i'm not the average from your video
and i ain't built like a supermodel
but i learned to love myself unconditionally
because i am a queen (yeah)
i'm not the average from your video (woo)
my worth is not determined by the price of my clothes (whoa)
no matter what i'm wearing i will always be
india arie

keep your fancy drink and your expensive minks
i don't need that to have a good time
keep your expensive cars
and your caviar
all's i need is my guitar
keep your cristal and your pistol
i'd rather have a pretty piece of crystal
don't need your silicone
i prefer my own
what god gave me is just fine
(oh hah hah hah)

i'm not the average from your video
and i ain't built like a supermodel
but i learned to love myself unconditionally
because i am a queen (yeah)
i'm not the average from your video (woo)
my worth is not determined by the price of my clothes (whoa)
no matter what i'm wearing i will always be
india arie
